Wolves are planning a move for Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina.

Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo wants to bring in a new central midfielder before the transfer deadline and Lemina is on the list – but he is understood not to be their top priority at this stage, says Sky Sports.

Lemina has been released by Saints to speak to other clubs this summer and is also of interest to Manchester United, who have inquired.

Other Premier League clubs are also understood to be keen along with further teams in Italy, Spain and France.

Wolves have also had a look at signing Lille's Boubakare Soumare – but a deal is unlikely after the French club quoted a price of £40m.
